Symetra sponsors the local Fourth of July festivities in our hometown of Bellevue, the largest such event for Washington’s Eastside community.
The Symetra Bellevue Family Fourth is just one of the many ways Symetra helps make this unique region an even better place to live and work. It is a chance to celebrate, and an opportunity to bring families, neighbors and communities closer together.
Learn more from our partner and organizers of the event, the Bellevue Downtown Association and the City of Bellevue.
Fireworks
The spectacular 20 minute fireworks display is accompanied by patriotic themes of the 60-piece Bellevue Philharmonic.
Philanthropy
The Community Spotlight Pavilion connects event attendees to local nonprofit organizations and volunteer opportunities. Representatives from organizations such as American Cancer Society, Pacific Science Center and YMCA showcase their programs with interactive displays, and talk with members of the community about getting involved. View all participating organizations.
Family Fun
The fun begins early with numerous kids activities, music, food and even a flyover by a C-17 Globemaster III from McChord Air force base.
